Swansea City midfielder Jonjo Shelvey struggled to
conceal his emotions after taking a leading role at both ends of the pitch in
the 2-2 Premier League draw with his former club Liverpool on Monday.
Shelvey opened the scoring for Swansea but two poor
passes allowed Liverpool to take the lead before his neat header set up striker
Michu for a second-half aqualiser.
"I just want to say sorry to the Swansea fans for
the two bad mistakes that gifted Liverpool a draw and I thought we deserved
more than that," Shelvey told Sky Sports.
Shelvey joined Swansea from Liverpool in July for £5
million.
"I did not really want to celebrate when I scored -
I still have respect for the fans and loved every minute at Liverpool, but it
is hard to contain emotions," he said.
"You just want to go into a hole where nobody can
see you but it has happened to great players over time.
Shelvey broke forward in the second half to nod a neat
pass into the path of striker Michu, who clipped the ball past Simon Mignolet
to secure a point for Swansea.
"I showed a bit of character to keep getting on the
ball," he said. "I still feel I have given Liverpool a draw but it
was a great game to play in."
